Agenda

I. Needs Assessment (upon entering and as we get started) 5-10 minutes
Where are you on the developmental continuum for 21st Century teaching and learning- on a “know nothing” to “know everything” scale?
(Please take one of the colored note tabs on the table and place it on the needs assessment chart.)

GOALS:
1. For you to go back and change at least one thing your are doing in your typical practice in the classroom.
2. To expose you to several tools and strategies used to make connections beyond the four walls of your classroom.
3. To create an awareness of how to operate in professional learning teams and community both online line and in your school.
4. To help you become comfortable with and create your own blog, wiki, digital video or other Web 2.0 tool in an effort to help you gain ownership. You cannot give away what you do not own.
6. To promote the knowledge, skills and sense of urgency for 21st Century teaching and learning.

II. Welcome, Introductions, Housekeeping - General Welcome

"She talked about how she started her quest to get donations for charities by finding sponsors for her daily good works, how surprised she is that over 30,000 people have visited her blog since last December, and how she’s been able to donate over $1,600, 50 pairs of pajamas, and over 400 books to charities in her area. It’s a great story and example, one that I’ve shared with my daughter on a number of occasions." - Will Richardson

"I can honestly say that Laura’s presentation was one of the coolest, most enlightening experiences of all my years in education. Since her presentation I’ve been wondering…If Laura can do what she is doing as a fifth grader, what will she be able to do in the future? If Laura can do what she is doing as a fifth grader, why the heck can’t I be doing more? Will my daughter be inspired do something so special." - Mike Maloy
